    Hi all, I removed the tool tray in my trunk and need suggestions on how to remove the leftover foam stuck on my trunk lid (see pic below):




    Thanks in advance

      "goo gone", a plastic scraper and a lot of effort worked for me when removing the foam hood insulation glue off my IX.

        Acetone should dissolve the foam and the glue. But be careful and clean it immediately off the paint. Maybe even clear coat the paint again to seal it up.

          acetone is a little too aggressive for my liking to use near paint plus it could dissolve your trunk carpet. Mineral spirits should dissolve the glue and not hurt anything
